Tosokchon NYC: The Heart of Korean Home-Style Cooking in Koreatown

Welcome to the Tosokchon NYC blog! We’re thrilled to begin this storytelling journey with you, our cherished guests, neighbors, and fellow enthusiasts of authentic Korean cuisine.

🏡 The Meaning Behind “Tosokchon”

In Korean, "Tosokchon" (토속촌) refers to a traditional rustic village house—often a cozy, countryside home where meals are lovingly made with local, seasonal ingredients. The name evokes feelings of warmth, familiarity, and nourishing comfort for many generations to come. It represents a time-honored way of cooking: slow, thoughtful, and from the heart.

At Tosokchon NYC, we embrace that spirit. We’re not just a Korean restaurant—we’re a place where you can experience the comfort and soul of Korean home-style food, whether it’s your first time trying it or it reminds you of your childhood.

🗽 Tosokchon Comes to New York City

While our name may be familiar from the renowned Samgyetang restaurant in Seoul, Tosokchon NYC has its own identity and story. We’re proud to offer a diverse range of Korean home-style dishes, prepared just as they would be in a traditional Korean family kitchen.

Our restaurant is situated in the heart of Manhattan’s Koreatown, featuring warm, hanok-inspired interiors that welcome everyone, from late-night foodies to weekday lunch regulars. Open 24/7 from Tuesday to Saturday, Tosokchon NYC is here when you need comfort food, anytime.
